Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake DVD

Advantages: Ideal for all Barbie fans
Disadvantages: A long way from the original swan lake story

...Barbie is bak in this fun packed animated DVD, dancing to loads of fun Ballet music including Tchaikovsky's classic Swan Lake. This is a lovely DVD for children who enjoy either Barbie, animated films or dancing (which includes most children I feel). The presentation of the story is very good and the characters are all well thought out and enjoyable to watch throughout. The story flows nicely and will keep your kids entertained for hours. Whilst the original story of Swan Lake gets a little lost, the story told here is still very enjoyable and well worth buying. I thought that the extra features such as the bonus material and music videos make the whole package very appealing, and the Merry Memory Ballet Game is good fun too.... Read review
